Splenomegaly

I have an hour before my club meeting so I will try to cram all that has happened in my life lately into this blog post in that short span.  Wish me luck.

78

Just spinning 'round in circles.
No longer is the path clear, for the surface is scratched. 
Will the music no longer play? Or is this just momentary pause.
What scratches lie hidden from my sight? 
Must I continue to discover where they lie?
Well at least the music is nice.

I won't be posting next week, so I'll talk to you in two weeks.

Another Haiku

Because I again lack the time to post I will leave you with another haiku.

Five weeks without you.
Sometimes I mourn, but I know
It is for the best.

Loveums,

Jason

Protection from what?

I can't stay too long this week because I have two midterms on Thursday that I need to study for.

One thing I've been thinking about is how much I like taking my music class. It really breaks up the monotony of technical reading. If only my major didn't have so many requirements :( I'm debating whether to fill my sparse openings in the next two years with a) nothing b) cs courses or c) German.  I figure that a language course is probably the most useful humanities course to take given the possibility that it might help me get a job in Germany if I ever pursue that.  We will see what happens though. I already know next semester doesn't have room for any humanities. Shame.

In the spirit of not being able to write my blog post for this week, I give you a pessimistic haiku I wrote. Hope you enjoy.

Fantasies exist
only to remind us of
our unhappiness.

Loveums,

Jason

Electro Swing!

Electro swing has become one of my favorite genres of music. I touched briefly on my fling with it last semester, but I found a music video of select art style that has made me revisit it because it's just that awesome.

Dawn take you all, and be stone to you!

"I love lists. They're so much fun. They just give you a bunch of facts in a neat order." -Duncan Williams.
In the spirit of Duncan, and no one else, I will be presenting my blog post as a list.

Howdy Howdy Howdy

I have a final in less than five hours.  A problem set due and quiz in twenty.  And a formal lab report and additional quiz in forty four.  Needless to say, it's going to be a long two nights. Not surprisingly, I don't feel comfortable using up too much time to post.  I too, like Rachael, still want to express that I haven't forgotten about the blog, and that I still care about it. We'll see if next semester I'll have more time.  Doubtful, but hopeful. See you hopefully over Winter break.

Busy Busy Busy

I'll see you guys next week, I'm really busy and don't have time for a proper post.

So I don't leave you with absolutely nothing, I'll tell you I went shopping in SF on Saturday.  Twas a lot of fun.  I went with Barbara and she was extremely helpful because she, unlike me, knows where to shop and what to shop for.  Having someone like that who is fashion savvy is very helpful to those who are in need of help i.e. me.  I spent over $200 which was quite traumatic, but I got a lot of great clothes so yay there.  Three pairs of pants, two sweaters, and a t-shirt to be exact.  I'm trying to make the transition into a more mature look.

Well I'll talk to you guys later.  Can't wait to be back in Newport in a little more than a week.

Election Day! Just voted!

It has been so long since I've written a formal blog that I no longer know what to write about.  The past weeks have blended together in one flurry of work and fun and it's hard to separate all the noteworthy instances from one another.  Well, without further ado, lets journey through the random bits of my life as I remember them:

The sky, like a bashful youth kissed for the first time, blushed with a peach-pink light.

Right now it's 11:05 PM and I don't think I can write a satisfying post in the time before Tuesday ends and Wednesday takes over so I'm not going to.  Maybe I'll update it tomorrow when I have free time, who knows.  I've been really busy these past few weeks so maybe not.  I know I sound like a broken record, but if you were here in Berkeley you would know that I am quite stressed out with all the stuff I have to do. Until Thanksgiving I'll be in a perpetual state of work so I might not have any good posts if any at all. I realize how disappointing this might be to all of you, but I need to take care of my life before I worry about documenting it.  A baby cared for that no one knows about is better than a dead baby with a birth certificate.  That is precisely the analogy I thought about, and if that doesn't reveal my sanity level right now, I don't know what will.  For the few... wait will I even see any of you at Thanksgiving?  You guys are so lame, why must you be so awesome that I miss you so.  Hope you're enjoying life.

Such Sweet Nothing

I like this song.  I can find meaning in it.  I can find meaning in a lot of songs though.  Hmm.


Unfortunately I won't be writing much in this post because I incurred quite a serious burn that has impeded my typing ability.  A picture of it is beyond the jump if you think you can stomach it.  It's pretty nasty.  Until next week when I hopefully regain function, au revior.
